It is encouraging when stars align, when everything begins to add up to what appears to be a strong conclusion, when one of your favorite cheaper options in daily fantasy formats also is involved in a game in which you expect a decent amount of points.

When playing daily fantasy, particularly the large tournaments, in which you need not only a big score but also a unique roster, it is a comforting combo when your cheap fave can be a part of your primary roster stack.

This week, that player is Mohamed Sanu (DraftKings $5,700). Since Week 7, the Falcons receiver is averaging 12.3 fantasy points a game in PPR formats (points per reception). That’s not bad. Throw in the fact everyone is going to be on Julio Jones, and Sanu makes a good pivot to lower ownership.

But that doesn’t mean we’re going to avoid Jones. Sure, Julio is up and down, but like we said earlier, we’re looking to stack this game, so we want multiple Falcons and at least an Eagle or two.

Philadelphia allowed the second-most fantasy points to WRs over the final four weeks of the regular season, so this is attractive for the passing game. Though the Over/Under is significantly lower than Patriots-Titans or Saints-Vikings, we know Pats will be heavily owned, and most of the enticing options are pricey. The Minnesota defense scares us off the other game, because if they slow down the Saints’ offense, it could turn into a grind-it-out affair. And we want little part of Jaguars-Steelers.

So Falcons-Eagles provides some comfort. We start by plugging Sanu and Jones in our lineup. If we’re going with those WRs, then we need to pair with QB Matt Ryan, who happens to be fairly cheap as well.

We’re going to limit our stack to those guys, knowing we want Jay Ajayi, whose workload increased significantly down the stretch, and Zach Ertz. We also like Adam Thielen, with Stefon Diggs likely to draw Marshon Lattimore coverage.

We fill in the rest with what we can afford — Jerick McKinnon, the Patriots’ defense/special teams and Rishard Matthews.

Now we check this roster against the developments we need to occur for a big payday: The Saints and Patriots need to distribute their scores among several guys, the Jags-Steelers needs to be low-scoring, and the Falcons-Eagles needs to provide some offensive fireworks. Those are realistic scenarios, so we hit submit, hopefully money well spent.
